- Everyone should have the right to appreciate and understand both cultures and religions represented in their family. Withholding information or explanations about their background can create resentment, or a sense of the suppressed religion. 

 

- People who are equally rooted and comfortable with both sets of religions may feel they have a greater family support from both sides. 

 

- Whether you eventually choose to identify with one religion or with both, people who are religiously bi-literate and know the stories and rituals of two relgions, will have a greater understanding of the history, culture and literature involved in both. 

 

- Most people deeply appreciate it when both parents are equally comfortable sharing their religious traditions, places of worship, and thinking. 

 

- Although you cannot ultimately control the religious identity of the people around you, you can switch religious affiliations as you get older. Giving people some basis in both familial traditions gives you a better basis for making a choice or shifting labels, rathing then forcing someone to start from scratch in learning a new religion. 

 

- Even if your someone labels you with one religion, the outside world may reject that label. Jews will either label their children based on the religion of the mother (in the case of Conservative or Orthodox), or based on meeting certian tests of Jewish practice. Meanwhile, Muslims for example, go by the religion of the father. Some Christians will label based on whether they have been baptized, or "saved." Your ability to control peoples label is limited. Once you got out in the world, different religions and denominations may diminish your ability to make a particular label stick. 

 

- The ability to see the world from more than one perspective, the interfaith people have benefits beyond the religious domain.
